Am I correct in saying there were something like 13,000 cases of people admitted to hospital with sepsis in 2021? I know there may have been other complications but I have seen that about 2,700 people died in 2021 in hospitals who had sepsis. I am not saying that sepsis was the sole cause of death but it was a contributory factor. Am I right in respect of those figures?
